Imagine holding a small capsule in your palm, then with a few deft hand motions, presto! It turns into a portable speaker system pumping out clear sound from your iPod®. That's the concept behind iHome's iHM79 portable speakers.

Open up to set up
The two speakers have magnetic bases to hold them together for travel. Gently pull them apart to set up. Give each speaker a twist to unlock and expand it. Then connect the combination USB cable/stereo minijack cable to your computer or portable device and you're ready for music.

Simple and fun
The speakers have built-in rechargeable batteries that you can charge through the USB port of any computer  and you can listen to them while they're charging. Minijack audio connections make these speakers compatible with any portable device or computer that has a headphone minijack output. So go ahead and use the iHM79 to pump up the volume on your smart phone, handheld game console, PDA, MP3 player, even your old-school portable CD player.

From the review iHome iHM79 rechargeable portable speakers -- share the music "The iHM79 is one of the best personal speaker systems I've used. It sounds great, it's compact enough to take anywhere I take my backpack (which is nearly everywhere), it's rechargeable and it works with anything that sends sound out of a headphone jack. ideal for both young and young-at-heart people who want to share exciting listening with others, or simply to give their earbuds a rest."

Mighty Mouse Speakers

The sound is very good for such a small pair of speakers. I do have an issue with the fact that it's charged by USB. You can use them while charging but if you want to just charge them you gotta turn on a computer. There are USB wall chargers available but that's another thing to buy. I have a mini USB charger that I can use so that I don't need the included cable but I can only charge one at a time. But for me it's not a big deal since I got these for travel and I take a computer anyway.

Pros:Good sound for its size.

Cons:USB charging only, unless you buy a wall charger. But if you already have one, then it doesn't matter:)

Cool little speakers..

I've had these speakers for a year and haven't had any issues with them. I could hear the low hum that people refer to only when connected to my computer via USB for charging. Tried using my ipod or iphone wall charger (5V, 500 mAh) and no more humming. Best of all I believe that using the ipod charger has extended the battery life of these bad boys. They sound great especially when you consider the size, nice and full, just do not expect to hear thunderous bass. Sound good with ipod or iphone, but they sound even better with ipad and Blackberry. No matter what device you have, you will not be disappointed. Listening to Bob Marley's Legend album on my ipod as I type this review, very cool.

Great little speakers

These little speakers are just great. Not much bass, but we didn't expect it from such tiny units. Voices are exceedingly clear and music is beautiful. We hook these to our computer when watching TV shows on HULU and just love the sound. Can't do better.

These speakers have a surprisingly large sound considering their size, I can actually hear and feel bass lines coming from them. They're also very portable and the built-in battery is a nice plus. Highly recommended.

BO

I have been looking for something like these speakers for 5 month, ever since I the beginning of my deployment. The rechargable batteries are a must as it can be difficult to find batteries quickly. these speakers have a rich bold sound and are exactly what i have been looking for. i will use crutchfield for all my future electronic needs.

just enough to do the job

I bought these to use with my iPod as I "play along" with the symphonies, etc. The plug in is
via the headphone jack, which allows easy handling of the iPod for repeating phrases and
stops and starts. The speakers in their carry bag are small enough to toss into a tote to take
to the park. Give them a try!
